Danish meals are usually constructed along simple lines around basics such as fish, meat and potatoes. If you get the chance to dine in a Danish restaurant during your stay, and you really should, specialities are likely to include flæskesteg (roast pork with crackling), gravad laks (salmon marinated with mustard sauce) and hvid labskovs (a pettery beef and potato stew). Danish pastries as eaten everywhere are called wienerbrød and you can buy lots of them, everywhere. With so much rich food on offer, it is a surprise that Danes are not enormously fat.
